Spiritual Sense Our Best Guide
It is true that evil or ungodly
thinking has no place in God’s plan
for the redemption and healing of
mankind. But divine Spirit with
loving-kindness does provide a puri-
fying way. Why? Because Principle,
the source of all creation, never
ceases to bless and to cherish. Such
is the nature of Love and the result
of its law. Even wayfaring men.
fools, or those seemingly ignorant
of God’s direction can awaken to
the truth about themselves and be
healed. Science shows that mankind
can rid itself of the grime and the
soil of carnality, for God is avail-
able to all For all human ills He
provides the necessary spiritual
knowledge and understanding. His
way of salvation through His Science
is safe and sure. Through His in-
spired Word and the teachings of
Mrs. Eddy, Love gives the required
discipline and correction. But with
Truth comes also joy and healing.
Man never need fear the workings
of God.
We may think of ourselves as
wayfaring ones and sometimes even
fools, because of the things we may
have said or done. But God knows
us only as His blessed and obedient
children, and as such we are never
outside of His care and His love.
In Holy Writ, as interpreted by
Christian Science, we discover man's
may see a woman's plight as she
swept her house in search of that
which had seemingly disappeared.
No doubt, the labor brought bene-
ficial training. Yet, the use of in-
telligence and the exercise of a right
sense of memory would have pre-
vented trie so-called trial. To lose
the coin, and then have to spend
time in searching, surely isn't the
best way to think and act But even
so, while under the belief of depriva-
tion or frustration, one can still
prove that divine Mind is at hand.
Is tt not human ignorance of Truth
Which causes all our losses, and is
not the remedy a conscious reflec-
tion of the divine Mind? Our own
worldly affairs, like those of the
above-mentioned woman, demand
more intelligent thought and action.
We do not need to lose what We
have and then spend hours in re-
covery. Truth teaches that it is
possible, yes, necessary, to protect
our supply of good. As we recognise
the value of a divine reliance and
an intelligent approach to the hu-
man problem, less and less time will
be spent in useless seeking. Yet we,
too, like the woman, can rejoice that
the lost can be restored. We should
rejoice in the fact that Ignorance
will finally yield to spiritual en-
lightenment. Through the lesson of
the woman there can come much
useful teaching. The coin, evidently
representing something very good,
was found, but its recovery entailed
work that could have been avoided.
Divine Love, through its Science,
shows that there is a better way.
Only a clear, divine realisation at
the absolute fact of being can help
us to understand the parable of the
prodigal son. Full of meaning and
of great help to those who would
know and demonstrate man's true
relationship to his Father, this para-
ble is a healing sermon which one
does well to study and to heed. The
dissipation and wastefulness at so-
called mortal or carnal mind are
sorry things to contemplate. Science
shows that to the thought which
willingly yields itself to evil there

any form should have its correction.

comes through the discipline of a
true education is Love's way of prov-
ing our worthiness to receive. "Over
a wounded sense of its own error,
let not mortal thought resuscitate
too soon." counsels Mrs. Eddy (Mis-
cellaneous Writing*- p. 145). Why?
Because the practice of Science
proves that a too quick release from
spiritual discipline and training may
cause human thought to revert again
to its own carnal ways. We can
Aell let evil be destroyed in accord-
ance with the divine order. It is

Father, does welcome home and
bountifully provide for the return-

before, the prodigal, himself, sees
the evil in his own thinking, and
humbly praying for forgiveness,
seeks the right way bone.
How often human thought yields
to silly, ignorant, and malicious
forms of evil! But such a course is
not necessary, and Christian Science
shows why. AU can learn to work
and pray as Jesus did. The Master’s

Christian. Science teaches that
man reflects all that God is and
all that He has. Knowing that there
are indispensable human footsteps
yet to be taken, the Scientist avails
himself, at the present time. of
every conceivable thought of good-
ness, small though it may appear to
be. From the standpoint of present
acceptance of the one God, the one
Spirit, he proceeds and progresses
into a life that is richer to divine
substance and love.
Science enables us to perceive that
the only real universe is the uni-
verse of Spirit, and that mortals
must finally accept the government
of divine, impartial Love. The
Christian Scientist is willing to
work and to wait until all are ready
to accept the divine law and order,
while he looks to the Christ to chart
the course of his own life. The
promise of Holy Writ for the world,
with the fulfillment of divine proph-
ecy, finds ready acceptance by, all
true Scientists. Claims of warring
nations and of sick, tinning, or dis-
cordant humanity should be met
with thoughts of Truth and Love.
Let us pray with a consciousness of
present-day spiritual blessing, and
prove by our thought and deeds
that we have found the way. The
whole world awaits the completed
demonstration of divine Science.
Seeking the pure ideas of Truth and
abiding in Spirit, we can prove that
we have found the light which does#
not fail. • '
We cannot' progress by attempt-
ing to tear down another’s good
work or sincere effort. We must be
willing to let God destroy evil to
His own good time and way. Human-
ly speaking, our footsteps should
be those which indicate not only a
full recognition of every good meas-
ure, but a positive assurance of re-
lief from all phases of materiality
through man's perfect reflection of
the divine Mind. God will ainihilate
every thing jor thought unlike Him-
self. We can rest in that spiritual
fact. To this end—for the destruc-
tion of evil—was Christian Science
born. And for the Cause of Truth,
we too, like Jesus, the Christ, and
the Discoverer of Christian Science,
must be willing to work as faithful
witnesses to the teachings of Truth.
God never deserts His loyal fol-
lowers. Of that fact there is abun-
dant proof not only in the Bible, but
in the lives of all those who have
proved that they love only good
Christlikeness among men will al-
ways bring blessing and healing, and

intuition is an angelic message com-
ing directly from God, from divine
Mind. To hear His voice, heed and
use the quickening spirit, is to be-
come conscious of good and what it
provides. As we cultivate and exer-
cise spiritual intuition, we shall have
less and less cause for grumbling.
Our complaints will disappear in a
true vision of Love.
The term "hope" seems to need
but little explanation, for mankind
knows quite well its value and help.
Hope, in Science, is Inspired by the
truth of being. It is joyful antici-
pation of continued health and suc-
cess. Real hope waits upon God.
with an all-pervading sense of the
accompaniment of Truth Scientists
view hope as never senseless or use-
less. but as alive with joy and always
productive of good. Hope must pre-
cede a staunch faith in scientific
healing, precede a faith which can
prove that God is impartial Love..
“Faith," in reality, is absolute re-
liance upon the one Mind, the all-
good. True faith has its birth in
the rule of Principle. And the divine
order shows that the human sense
of faith must prove itself worthy of
love. Scientific faith embodies not
only trustfulness, but trustworthi-
ness. As such, our confidence in
, God will have its proof of infinite
good. Absolute faith, Science shows,
is complete spiritual understanding,
the quality named next in the pat-
tern of Love.
In Science, “understanding' is per-
fect spiritual consciousness, a true
knowledge of God, which excludes
all but the good. Understanding is
the intelligent concept of Love. of
Love that has no thought of sin.
materiality, or carnality, but is con-
scious of God-given health and har-
mony, of good will among men Real
spiritual understanding is produc-
tive of all the good th it is apparent
to divinity. Therefore, in exercise
or demonstration of that quality,
we can aid in bringing to human
consciousness the best there is—the
best in thought, to work, and in
substance or supply. We can have
fruitage of the right kind. And
Christian Science provides it in a
service to the one God whom Scien-
tists understand to be the one
Father and Mother of all.
“Fruition" is a term dear to every
Scientist, because in it he discerns
the definite provision of Love. As
God. Spirit, sees and gives only good,
so the real man. His perfect image
and likeness, must partake of an
abundance of right ideas which are
productive of good in full measure.
God. being what He is. His creation,
the real man and the real universe,
must be' the perfect reflection of
divine goodness and love, with a
plentiful harvest of right ideas or
things. True being is explained to
Christian Science, and there we see
reality for what it is.
The term “reality" may scem dif-
ficult to explain, but in Science the
word is used to express the abso-
lute truth. Probably It is the thought
which the human being most re-
sents, because reality, like its Prin-
ciple or source, rejects every er-
roneous sense of a person, a place.
ar a thing. Reality is grounded
upon absolute Being. Not an atom
of matter, or false thought of hu-
man being, not a single sense of
that which is untrue, unreal, or
limiting can exist to the realm of
absolute Truth. Reality include* only
health, harmony, and immortality
Where but in a perfect Science could
one find such revelation and teach-
ing? Christian Science presents the
opportunity to demonstrate that man
is free, unlimited, and joyous. The
real man is without envy or hate.
In humble gratitude we can well
thank God for the work of Christ
Jesus and that of our Leader
Through membership and service
to the Church of Christ, Scientist,
we can give sustaining evidence of
our allegiance to Truth and of our
willingness to promote good through
our beloved Cause. Membership to
church and activity in our move-
ment have brought endless bless-
ings to God's faithful ones. •
Assurance of God's Ever-presence
Without a true sense of the Science
of being, one is left well-nigh
stranded before the claims of mortal
birth, human life, and untimely
dying, with their many false be-
liefs. To escape these illusive and
delusive suggestions, one is com-
pelled to look beyond the so-called
sciences of the world. The ways of
mortal belief have done little to
prevent illness, want, and the de-
structions of war. Today we are
faced with the necessity to manifest
a higher degree of intelligence, a
larger sense of universal love, a
more compawdonate tolerance, and

Science of living, reveals that God
in His inspired Word has provided
the perfect answer to every human
question, together with the only
permanent method of cure. Await-
ing the time when all mankind will
recognize the truth of being and be
healed, true Scientists will go on
faithfully working, without fear or
discouragement, without acceptance
of the thought of failure or defeat.
Christian Science shows that war,
accident, sin, sickness, and death
can disappear from the earth. Real-
izing that nothing but a spiritual
knowledge and understanding of
God, Truth, will lead the world out
of its distressing conditions, wise
men and women will make even
more vigorous efforts to know, re-
fleets and express the truth which
Ged-has revealed through this
Science, which all can comprehend
and use.
The Certainty of the Word
Christ Jesus, the greatest thinker
and worker of all times, as he stood
accused of the Jews, and awaited
Pilate's question, "What is truth?"
made probably the greatest procla-
mation of healing of his or any age.
Hear his words and consider their
import: "To this end was I born,
and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear witness
unto the truth." Christian Science
has appeared in this age to reveal
the truth to which Jesus referred.
And from its study and practice we
learn that the end of Jesus’ work
was the demonstration of harmo-
nious, eternal life; and that the
cause for which he came, his mis-
sion in the so-called human experi-
ence, was the proof of man's com-
plete unity with and expression of
the one God who is Love.
Jesustaught that the power he
reflected came from no human
source, that it was never dependent
upon any material agency or or-
ganization. Rather did he contin-
ually declare that all real power had
its origin in divine Principle, the
source of all true being. Shortly

The Discipline of A Tree Education
In the Bible, in the fifteenth chap-
ter of Luke's Gospel, there is pre-
sented a most interesting study. In
it we may view the three forms or
modes of evil most generally ac-
cepted by humankind. Jesus' para-
bles of the lost sheep, the lost coin,
and the prodigal son, as related by
Luke, provide profitable study and
bring helpful lesions for us all.

Ge* Firt
Centuries ago. the great Roman
scholar, Pliny, spoke of the early
Christians as “binding themselves
by a sacramentum to commit no
kind of crime" (Hastings’ Bible Dic-
tionery). In those days the word
"sacrament," as applied to a Roman
soldier's oath, had an unusual mean-
ing. Translated into English II ’
reads: “We were called to the war-
fare of the living God to our very
response to the sacramental words"
(ibid.). What a calling! In her
writings, Mix Eddy quotes the early
scholar, PUny, to his “description
of the character of true greatness,"
as follows (Th* First Church of
Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p.
150): "Doing what deserves to be
written, and writing what deserves
to be read; and rendering the world
happier and better for having lived ‘
to it." She adds to his thought one
of her own and says, "Strive then
for the joy and crown of such a pil-
grimage—the service of such a mis-
sion.” What better example tar a
life of Christian character! The
Christ is at hand, and the holy
warfare is glorious. There is no
need to fear, for divine Love is
always near. To human sens*, th*
so-called ships of state may seem
to strike troubled water*. "Be not
afraid, only believe." said the great-
est healer, minister, and statesman
of all times. Not to be afraid, but
to love, understand, and use the
Science of the Christ! Would not
the result be the same as it was
with Jesus—a complete dominion
over evil, with a victory that is bene
ficial to all humankind?
Th* follower* of Mary Baker Eddy
.fully subscribe to the teachings of
the Master, and to the religious
Tenets of the Christian Science or-
ganization. In accordance with the
last of thee* Tenets (Science and
Health, p. 497), "we solemnly prom-
ise to watch, and pray for that Mind
to be to us which wm also to Christ
Jesus; to do unto others as we would
have them do unto us; and to be
merciful, just, and pure.”
The king of a great country re-
cently chose as a benediction for
his people, at an hour at apprehen-
stan and travail, the words at a
port: T said to a man who stood at
the gate at the years: ‘Give me a
light that I may tread safely Into
the unknown,' and he replied: ‘Go
out into the darkness and put your
hand into the tend of God. That
shall be to you better than a light
and safer than a known way.' ” To
these beautiful words, may X add

M): "May we unloose the lacbets uf

as she wm by spiritual means atone
to 1666, she began to see that noth-
ing outside of perfect, unchangeable,
divtoe law or order could provide
the means whereby the Savour
lived, worked, and healed.
After years of study and research.
Mrs. Eddy saw with spiritual clarity
the underlying Principle and rule of
scientific being, saw Truth as it lx
with its healing power. Her nature
being what it was—wholly unselfish,
and filled with love fer God and
mankind—she could not possibly be
satisfied to rest alone in her dis-
covery and healing. She must go
on with the work, and share the
blessing with all mankind. The
orderly footsteps taken by our
Leader, the crosses and persecutions
she endured over the years, could
not be outlined within the scope of
one lecture. One would have to
know each step of Mrs. Eddy's hu-.
man experience to appreciate, even!
In a degree, what our Leader en-
dured and overcame to her efforts
to discover and reveal the truth.
But what she found in the inspired
Word of the Bible prepared and
fortified her for the work she was
divinely led to do. The truth of
being, which Jesus revealed—hidden
as it had been for centuries under
a mass of material observances and
literal interpretations almost devoid
of the spirit-—dawned upon Mrs.
Eddy's consciousness, and in the
clear light of divine revelation, she
saw what could be and must be
done for mankind.
It was not long after her dis-
covery that Mrs. Eddy realized what
the work required in self-offering
and self-sacrifice. Undaunted, she
rose above almost heart-breaktag
human situations and conditions.
Through her own reflection of the
divine consciousness, Mrs. Eddy was
able to shut out the personal sense
of hardship and suffering. Aided by
God alone, Mrs. Eddy was able to
write the Christian Science text-
book, “Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures.” It is the text-
book which provides for all mankind
a spiritual, practical pattern and
method of Christianly scientific
teaching and healing. Thousands do
know what our Leader has done.
Few, if any, realize what her dis-,
covery and work entailed. Ridicule,
condemnation, isolation, desertion
by family and friends—these were
a few of the things our Leader en-
dured. But out of the years of pa-
tient study, prayer, and self-sacri-
fice. there has come in our age this
great healing agency. It is Mrs. Ed-
dy’s discovery of Christian Science,
the perfect Science of Life, Truth,
uua L.-
Jesus prayed that God's kingdom,
the manifestation of divine power,
would be realized here on earth
as in heaven. Christian Science
proves that the reign of absolute
good is at hand, and that God’s
power can be demonstrated. Mrs.
Eddy has given to the world its
greatest present-day blessing. And
some day the whole world will give
back to her genuine gratitude for,
the work she has done. Her fol-
lowers are doing this now every
time they think and express the
pure idea of Truth.
The Light that Does Not Fail
Speaking of her discovery, Mrs.
Eddy writes (Science and Health,
Pref., p. viii): "The question. What
1* Truth, is answered by demonstra-
tion,—by healing both disease and
sin; and this demonstration shows
that Christian healing confers the
most health and makes the best
men. On this basis Christian Science
will have a fair fight.” And a few
pages farther on she states (p. x):
“The author has not compromised
conscience to suit the- general drift
of thought, but has bluntly and
honestly given the text of Truth. ..
By thousands of well-authenticated
cases of healing, she and her stu-
dents have proved the worth of her
teaching*" After all, what better
proof could one have than the heal-
ing of thousands? Curing the sick,
as well as the needy and sinning—
is not that sufficient proof of the
right idea of God and Hl* work for
man?
. Mrs. Eddy looked deep into spirit-
ual reality, and discovered the glori-
ous signification of the inspired
Word, or the divine law. In it, she
recognized the Principle of true
being and living. Seeing that God
is infinite goodness, recognizing and
accepting the light that never fails,
Mrs. Eddy was able to provide for
mankind the thing that it ’need*.
Her discovery and teaching* reveal
how spiritual-mindedness, so native
to all good men, women, and chil-
dren, could and should be used at
all times. Spiritual consciousness
saved Mr*. Eddy's life after physi-
cians had pronounced a death sen-
tence from the effects of a fall.
Christian Science, as revealed by
Mrs. Eddy, will continue to bring to
those who fully accept it the great*
est blessings. All religiously-minded
persons prove th* truth of being in
some measure. Christian Science
helps mankind to demonstrate free-
dom along every line.
Present-day conditions present a
great need for intelligent, spiritual
direction to everyday affaire. That
mankind requires more than merely
human planning and help is quite
evident to all who see as they
should. Were we to submit to the
general thought regarding world
war, sickness, and limitation, we
might easily be made to believe
that there is no way out. The var-
ious claims of the carnal mind, with
its evil suggestions and acceptance
of a power other than good, would
tend to discourage even the best of
thinkers. But all true Christian*
will refute to rely upon the verdict
of error. Christian warriors will
